Default Recently Boosted gas mileage question...

I just recently installed my turbo kit on my 99 Integra GS, and before the install I was consitently getting 330-345 miles to a full tank of gas... Now that I'm boosted, my last two tanks of gas I've gotten 315+ both times... When I filled it both times it took no more than 10.5 gallons... Is nebody else getting this little of a change in gas mileage after going turbo...? I was expecting much less mileage per tank, but I'm not complaining... TIA...

i got BETTER gas milage with the turbo then without. My guess was i didnt have my foot to the floor as much (it took 1/4 the time to get onto the highway with a turbo honda then N/A). 1/4 throttle is more then enough with a turbo honda to pass a car on the freeway when before you would have to downshift and do a "burn run" to get past that mini-van.

My gas mileage depends on how much time i spend out of the boost part of my boost gauge
